Japanese toy company Megahouse's sci-fi-infused soft vinyl series, "Soft Vinyl Fantastic," is set to release its latest product: the "Spider-Head" soft vinyl figure, based on the 1982 American sci-fi horror film, *The Thing*. With a suggested retail price of 14,300 JPY, it is scheduled for release in May 2026!
The 1982 film *The Thing*, directed by the renowned John Carpenter, is an adaptation of John W. Campbell's 1938 novella of the same name. The plot is set at the U.S. National Science Research Station 4 in Antarctica, where a shot sled dog and out-of-control Norwegians lead helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady (portrayed by Kurt Russell) and a doctor to investigate, uncovering the prelude to an alien lifeform, "The Thing," invasion....
The "Soft Vinyl Fantastic The Thing: Spider-Head" soft vinyl figure stands approximately 12 cm tall, faithfully recreating the classic, unsettling, and grotesque Spider-Head from the film. It adopts a deformed proportion to present a... cute aesthetic! In addition to its fuller and more rounded limbs, the details of the human head have been toned down to reduce gore and horror, achieving a delicate balance with an extremely original design!
